Jamaica moved one step closer to advancement in the Concacaf Gold Cup on Friday night with a 2-1 win over Guadeloupe.
At the start, it seemed Guadeloupe was poised for an upset. Dimitri Ramothe broke away up the right flank to score an opening goal in the fourth minute, surprising Jamaica with an early lead. The quick goal gave the team a burst of energy, allowing them to dominate the energy at the start of the half.
But after its initial lag, Jamaica righted itself barely 10 minutes later when Philadelphia Union forward Corey Burke leveled the score with a long-range blast.
